More than 100 school children and young people from Wolverhampton schools and youth projects were in the house at the anti-violence My Tomorrow conference held at Molineux Stadium.
The youth-led event organised by West Midlands Violence Reductions Partnership's Change Makers initiative was held on Wednesday (April 9) in response to concerns over violent incidents among young people.
Among the speakers were anti-knife crime campaigners Pooja Kanda and Nikita Kanda, West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster, Wolverhampton Youth MP Sienna Ahir, Nikki Tomkinson and Matthew Stone from the Safer Wolverhampton Partnership.
Wolverhampton youth MP Sienna Ahir, aged 16, told the delegates that better social media prevention initiatives, collaboration and police relations were the way forward and called on the authorities to take young people's views into account when setting agendas for change.
